Very pleasant aroma. Slightly fruity, malty and yeasty in flavour. Very well balanced. Smooth overall with a bit dry finish. A tad of bitterness with some spices in aftertaste.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma’s of lemon peel, pine, spice. Fantastic fresh bitterness in the taste, this beer is very well hopped for a tripel. Some spicyness in the aftertaste and surprisingly little alcohol. Amazing for 9.5% ABV. Maybe less balanced than some other tripels but surely the most refreshing.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Good, strong flavored tripel. Alcohol is noticeable when it warms up, but integrates nicely in the taste.

Bottle 33 cl from Bier-Bienne (CH). Golden orange beer with fine white foam and fine sparkling. Complex fruity nose, malt, freshness and hop. The taste is fine, soft, smooth with hints of banana, zest of citrus, spices and herbs. The bitterness is pleasant and concludes a perfect balance.
4.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
UPDATED: APR 30, 2011 (11.2oz bottle) pours dark golden color with chunky white head. Very active carbonation. Aroma has belgian yeast, vinous fruit (grape?) And some spice. Taste is sweet malt with spice and a hoppy bitter finish. Thin to medium bodied and creamy texture. Finish is bitter and dry. The original and ultimate tripel.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a nice hazy orange colour, finger of bright fluffy egg white head with decent retention and no lacing.
Smell is fruity yeast esters, cloves, bananas and a touch of caramel.
Taste is bready yeast esters. Surprisingly bitter with some leafy green hops having a definite presence. Caramel and toffee notes come through on the finish with a bit of a peppery clove flavour.
Quite light on the tongue, heavy carbonation, goes down smooth, with a perplexing finish that starts off dry, but finishes wet.
A tasty tripel and definitely worth taking for a spin. The high ABV goes completely unnoticed, and the flavours are uniquely balanced between spices, caramel malts and leafy hops.
